All Reviews for Kaneohe Sandbar Tours & Cruises

We were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming close by, which made the children very happy. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful and left us in awe. The surrounding mountains and the sea were stunning!

It's said that snorkeling is optional, but we decided to give it a try. However, since there were a lot of people, I think the water clarity is better in Okinawa.

It was a great experience for the kids! The staff were very welcoming, and we had a wonderful time on the boat!

ウミガメが間近にプカプカと泳いでいて子供がとても喜びました
サンドバーはとても綺麗で感動しました。周りの山に海とても生えて綺麗でした！
シュノーケリングはしてもしなくても良いとの事ですがせっかくなので行いましたが、たくさんの人数で行うので海の透明度は沖縄の方があると思います！
子供にはいい体験でした！
スタッフの方々がとてもアットホームで船の上も楽しく過ごすことができました！

This was the best tour I've ever experienced! We were picked up at 11:40, which allowed us to schedule activities in the morning as well. Along the way, Leonard took us to buy malasadas before heading to the sandbar.

There were about 20-30 people on two boats, and Leonard distributed snacks while we moved offshore. When we arrived at the sandbar, even though it was offshore, the shallow areas were about knee-deep, allowing us to walk on the sandy bottom. We wandered around the sandbar, took photos, and the view was amazing with the ocean all around us.

After borrowing snorkeling gear and seeing the fish in deeper waters, we returned to the boat. Once we filled up with the buffet, we had free time, and two sea turtles appeared, allowing us to swim alongside them! While it's illegal to touch them, it was an incredible experience to see and swim so close. After that, we borrowed floaties and paddleboards to play around, and we arrived back at the hotel around 5 PM.

The staff were Japanese, so everything went smoothly without any issues.

If there was a downside, it might be that some people get seasick. Overall, it was the best tour in terms of timing and content.

今まで経験したツアーで1番良かったです！
11:40ピックアップで午前中も予定入れられました。途中でレナードによってマラサダを買いサンドバーへ。
20-30人で二艘の船に乗り、途中でレナードを配ってくれて食べつつ沖合へ移動します。
サンドバーに着くと沖合なのに浅いところは膝上くらい？で砂地を歩けました。
サンドバーをウロウロして写真を撮って景色も一面海で最高でした。
海の深いところでシュノーケリングを借りて魚を見た後船に戻ります。
バイキングでお腹が膨れたら自由時間ですが、ウミガメが2匹も現れて一緒に泳ぐことができました！法律で触れませんが、こんな近くで見れて泳げて最高の体験でした。その後浮輪やパドルサーフィンを借りて遊んで5時ごろホテルに到着。
スタッフも日本人で何も問題なく過ごせました。

問題あるとしたら船酔いする人もいることくらいでしょうか。
時間的にも内容も最高のツアーでした。

It seems that the tides vary by day, and on the day of my visit, the sandbar was not fully exposed. It's a pity. Initially, the shallow sea and sandbar offered an hour and a half of free time, but I ended up walking endlessly with nothing to do. The lunch hamburger was quite delicious. During the snorkeling in the afternoon, I unexpectedly encountered a sea turtle. I was lucky.

日によって満ち引きの違いがあるみたいで、当日はサンドバーが完璧に出てませんでした。
残念。
最初遠浅の海、サンドバーですが、に1時間半の自由時間、する事がなく延々歩きました。
ランチハンバーガーは、かなり美味しいです。
昼からのシュノーケリングで、偶然ウミガメに遭遇。
ラッキーでした。

The sandbar had clear and beautiful water.
As expected, the sightseeing in Japan was enjoyable.
The pickup arrived on time.

サンドバーは水が澄んでいてとてもきれいでした。
やはり日本語の観光は楽でした。
時間通りに迎えも来ました。

Tropical fish gather around the coral, and when you offer them food, they take it from your hand. However, my 10-year-old son seemed to find it more interesting to catch sea slugs. The hamburger was delicious with a nice grilled aroma, the best! My 4-year-old son was thrilled to float around happily in his life jacket.

サンゴのそばに熱帯魚が群れて、もらった餌で寄せると手から取っていきます。でも、10歳の息子はウミウシをつかむ方が面白かった様です。ハンバーガー、直火が香ばしくて、最高！４歳のむすこは、ライフジャケットでプカプカ浮かんで大喜びでした。

I was able to see many sea turtles both from the boat and at the sandbar. The staff were friendly, and I had a very enjoyable time.

船上からもサンドバーについても多くのウミガメに会うことができました。
スタッフの方も気さくで、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

I attended my eldest son's wedding on Oahu. We played volleyball at the sandbar and had a snorkeling encounter with a turtle. We enjoyed delicious hamburgers, and our guide, Yuki, along with my son, Riza, helped create wonderful memories.

長男の結婚式でオアフ島に来てての参加でした。サンドバーでのバレーボール、シュノーケリングでカメとの出会い。美味しいハンバーガー、ガイドのユキさん、息子のライザ君、楽しい思い出作りができました。

Our wedding party went as a group and all agreed it was the highlight of our trip. Highly recommend! Good lunch and great crew with phenomenal snorkeling. We swam with large sea turtles and it was amazing!

At first, it was cloudy, and I was worried because the color of the sea wasn't very nice.

After that, I was very moved to see a wild sea turtle, and then we went to the sandbar.

A few minutes after arriving, the weather cleared up, and it was very beautiful. I thought it would be a bit shallower, but it was surprisingly deep.

最初は曇ってて、あまりいい海の色ではなく心配しておりました。

その後、野生のウミガメを見れて、とても感動後、サンドバーへ

ついてから、数分後天気も晴れて、とっても綺麗でした。
もう少し浅瀬かと思いきや、意外と深かったです

Good time had by all. Loved the turtles! Delicious cheeseburgers

Snorkeling in Hawaii for the first time.
With excitement and nervousness, as I entered the water, it felt like a different world.
There were big fish and colorful tropical fish!
When I fed them bread for bait, I was surrounded by many fish.
It's a memory I'll cherish for a lifetime.

初めてのハワイにシュノーケリング。
ドキドキとワクワクの中で、
海に入るとそこは別世界。
大きいお魚や色とりどりの熱帯魚！
餌用のパンを与えると、
沢山の魚に囲まれていました。
一生の思い出です。

We participated as a family with our 4-year-old daughter. It was her first time snorkeling, and we were having a bit of trouble teaching her, but the staff were very kind and gave her advice, and she quickly mastered how to snorkel! Thanks to that, we were able to see fish and sea turtles perfectly, creating an invaluable memory for our daughter! I highly recommend it, even for families with small children! ☆

4歳の娘を連れて家族で参加しました。初めてのスノーケリングでなかなか教えるのに苦労していたところ、スタッフさんがとても優しく娘にアドバイスをしてくださり、すぐにスノーケリングの仕方をマスター！おかげさまで魚もウミガメもバッチリ見ることができ、娘にとってかけがえのない思い出になりました！小さなお子さんとでも是非オススメです☆

It was fun.
The snorkeling was murkier than I expected, and it was hard to see the fish, but that's due to the weather, so it can't be helped.
The sand beach only appears during low tide, so outside of that time, it's shallow, but it was still plenty enjoyable!
I think it would be amazing even if it's shallow when the weather is nice.

Later, I thought that the price of 10 for a photo that can be purchased was a bit high, so I gave it 4 stars.

楽しかったです。
シュノーケリングは、思っていたより水が濁っていて、お魚が見えにくかったけど、天候のせいなので、仕方ない。
干潮の時しか砂浜が出ないので、その時間以外は浅瀬ですが、楽しさは、充分です！
晴れていたら、浅瀬だろうと最高だと思います。

後日、購入出来る写真が1枚10がちょっと高いなと思ったので、星4つにしました

I was disappointed when I requested arrangements from a travel agency at the last minute and was told it was too late. Fortunately, a friend introduced me to Veltra, and I managed to book a tour just in time. When I arrived at the destination, I went to the meeting point near the hotel. While waiting nervously among many tour participants, I spotted a bus with a sign for "Angel's Sea." After confirming the name, we headed to the boat dock. We boarded the boat and arrived at the sandy beach, where I snorkeled with many other Japanese tourists. After swimming for an hour, we went cruising to see turtles and encountered many of them. Finally, I put on fins and a life jacket to snorkel around the coral with children aged 6, 10, and 12. We were able to see tropical fish. The hamburgers they grilled for us at the barbecue were incredibly satisfying and delicious. I had a wonderful time and would love to go again.

旅行ギリで旅行会社へ手配依頼をするともう遅すぎると断られ、残念におもっていると知り合いからベルトラの紹介をお受け申し込み滑り込みセーフ。現地では、ホテル近くの集合場所へ行きました。沢山のツアー集客場でドキドキしながらまっているとバスに天使の海の看板を発見。名前を確認しいざ船乗り場へ。船に乗りサンドビーチに到着。沢山の日本人と一緒スノーケリング。1時間泳ぎ亀を見にクルージング 沢山の亀達に遭遇できました。最後は、足ヒレやライフジャケットと着込んで6歳、10歳、12歳の子供たちとサンゴ周辺のスノーケリングを体験。熱帯の魚達を見ることができました。バーベキューで焼いてくれたハンバーガーも肉圧がすごく食べごたえ十分。楽しいひと時を過ごせました。また、行きたい

This excursion was one to definitely be remembered! A fun day is in store from the moment you leave the marina. The crew is full of fun people that are always making sure their guests are having a great time. The sandbar stop was fun filled with Hawaiian volleyball with the crew and other guests onboard. The lunch that was served before the reef snorkel was also great. At the private reef we saw a monk seal and also a ton of turtles and fish. We would love to do this trip again!

You should definitely sign up for this tour! The ocean is beautiful, and the tour content is very satisfying. There were families with children, so it's enjoyable for everyone.

このツアーは絶対申し込んだ方がいいです！
海はきれいだし、ツアー内容も大満足です。子供連れもいたので家族で楽しめます

The guide on the way to Angel's Sea was really entertaining. He seemed like a local character and was good at playing the guitar (singing "bye-bye WAIKIKI♪ bye-bye ABC MART♪"). It was a playful jab at the fact that you can't walk around Waikiki without running into an ABC Mart, but there were none on this tour. The BBQ lunch consisted of hamburgers, fries, and pink grapefruit juice on the boat. The taste was decent. Whether Angel's Sea is beautiful depends on the weather. During the sea turtle watch, we were taken to a spot with a high sighting rate, and we actually saw some! I think the cost performance is better than going on our own!

天使の海の道中のおっちゃん（ガイドさん）が面白かったです。名物おじさんのようで、ギターも上手でした（「bye-bye　WAIKIKI～♪bye-bye　ABC MART～♪」）（笑：ワイキキにワイキキでは歩けばABCマートにあたる、でしたが、このツアー野行く先には一つもないことを揶揄したもの）BBQランチは、船上でのハンバーガーとポテトとピンクグレープフルーツジュースでした。味はそこそこ。天使の海がきれいかどうかはお天気次第です。ウミガメウオッチでは、出没率が高いとこ炉に連れて行ってもらえ、実際、見られました！自分たちで行くより、コスパは高いと思われます◎！

Wow! Had an awesome time and the guides were fantastic. Beautiful lunch after kayaking & snorkelling, I would definitely do this again. Thank you to everyone for a great day :)

A ladder was lowered from the boat, and we walked towards the sandbar. On the day of the tour, the water level was up to my waist even in shallow areas, so I carried my child into the sea. Since it was my child's first time at the ocean, they were a bit confused at first, but after a while, they started to enjoy it. The boat was anchored near the sandbar, so we could take breaks whenever we liked.

I’m sorry to say that the light snack sandwiches were not tasty, and I ended up leaving them. The bread tasted a bit sour. My friend who came with me also left theirs.

船からハシゴが下りて、歩いてサンドバーに向かいます。ツアーに参加した日は、浅いところでも腰くらいまで水位があったため、子供は抱っこして海に入りました。子供は初めての海だったため、最初は戸惑っていましたが、しばらくすると楽しんでいました。船はサンドバーの近くに停泊してくれているので、休憩などは好きなタイミングで行えました。

軽食のサンドイッチは申し訳ないですが、美味しくなくて残してしまいました。なんだかパンが酸っぱかったです。一緒に行った友人も残していました。

We had an amazing time and got to see a rare monk seal while having lunch in the boat. Crew was extremely friendly and even shared some great tips on places to visit.

I traveled to Hawaii with my family for my wedding. The sandbar was different from what I expected due to high tide, but I was very satisfied with snorkeling and swimming with sea turtles. We had plenty of time to enjoy our stay. I would definitely like to use this opportunity again if I get the chance!＼(^^)／

自身の結婚式の為、家族とハワイ旅行です。
サンドバーは満潮で思っていた様子と違いましたが、シュノーケリングをやったり海亀と泳いだり大満足です。滞在時間もしっかりありました。
また機会があれば是非利用したいです＼(^^)／

On the day, it wasn't the time when the sandy beach was elevated, but we were able to enjoy ourselves thoroughly. The photos taken from above the water looked very atmospheric. The way the island was reflected was also very nice. I wish it had been a bit sunnier, but it wasn't too hot, and I was very satisfied.

当日は砂浜が浮き上がっている時間帯ではありませんでいたが、十分に楽しむことができました。海の水の上から、自分たちを移した写真が大変雰囲気良く映ってくれました。島を爆気にした映り方も大変雰囲気が良かったものでした。できればもう少し晴れていてほしかったですが、暑くも無く、大変満足です。

The weather was bad, but the sea was beautiful! We were able to see sea turtles, and even beginners could enjoy snorkeling. The driver was cheerful and could speak a little Japanese, which was great. (I gave a tip to the driver.)

天気は悪かったのですが、海は綺麗でした！
ウミガメも見ることができ、初心者でもシュノーケリングも楽しむことができました。
運転手の方も陽気な方で日本語も少しできるのでよかったです。
（運転手の方へチップは渡しました）

I have joined the Captain Bob snorkel since the first time I went to Hawaii. It was so consistent every time. And this time we have a group of 11 people going and everyone has a good time even though the sandbar water level is a little bit high but the whole crew working on the boat are so sincere which makes a big difference on the atmosphere of the activity. Excellent

Loved the trip, went back again 2 days later. Will do it again next time we visit the islands!

It was my first experience at the sandbar. It was a bit cloudy, which was disappointing, but I was happy to be able to stand on the sandbar. I had fun eating sandwiches and taking pictures. I was able to take a lot of photos.

サンドバー初体験でした。少し曇っていたのが残念ですが、サンドバーに立てたことが嬉しかったです。サンドイッチ食べたり、写真取ってもらったり楽しかったー。写真もたくさん撮れました。

We enjoyed it so much, we came back 2 days later and enjoyed it again. We highly suggest it for anyone that visits the island. The Sandbar is a true hidden gem!

It wasn't a sunny day, so the water was quite cold when we got in, but we were able to enjoy a different kind of sea than Waikiki and even encountered sea turtles. The lunch on the boat was also quite delicious. After that, my father and high school students seemed to have a great time snorkeling, taking pictures of corals and sea turtles with their cameras. My mother and elementary school students enjoyed themselves with the rental floaties and paddle boats during that time. The boat didn't feel too rocky, but there were about 5 or 6 people who got seasick, so motion sickness medication might be necessary. The staff were all cheerful and fun, and they took great pictures with our cameras.

However... about two months ago, I made a reservation for the best day after checking the tides, but suddenly, less than a month before, I was told it was canceled due to a movie shoot. When I tried to book on another low tide day, I was told it was already full. I thought about canceling, but since it was the event I was looking forward to the most, I participated with faint hopes, even though it was on a king tide day. But as expected... the tide level was 160 cm, which meant the water was up to about half my face. Those who weren't good swimmers seemed to struggle. I knew we wouldn't be able to see the beautiful sandbar, but the result was too disappointing. Even though it cost over 50,000 yen, it was canceled so easily that I couldn't accept it, and now I feel like I want to try again next time, but also not...

晴天ではなかったので、海に入るとかなり冷たかったですが、ワイキキとは違う海を楽しむことができ、海亀とも出会えました。船上のランチも、なかなか美味しかったです。その後、父と高校生はシュノーケリングで、サンゴや海亀を持参したカメラで撮ったりと満喫したようです。母と小学生はその間貸し出しの浮き輪、パドルボートで楽しめました。船はそんなに揺れる感じではなかったですが、酔ってダウンしている方が5〜6人はいらっしゃったので、酔い止めは必要かも…。スタッフの方はみなさん明るく楽しく、という感じで、持参のカメラでもしっかり撮って頂きました。

ただ…二ヶ月ほど前に、潮を調べて一番良い日を予約したにもかかわらず、一ヶ月をきってから突然、映画撮影のためと言われキャンセルになり、他の潮の低い日に申し込んでも、もういっぱいですと言われ…。キャンセルしようかとも思ったのですが、一番楽しみにしていたイベントだったため、キングタイドの日でしたが、淡い期待を持って参加しました。しかしやはり…案の定…潮位は160cmの私で顔半分くらいまで…。泳ぎが得意でない人は、みなさん困っていらっしゃいました。サンドバーのあの綺麗な砂が見られないことは分かってはいたけれど、残念すぎる結果でした。5万を超える出費なのに、簡単にキャンセルされて納得いかず、次回リベンジしたいような、したくないような…

I participated with my 8-year-old son. We spotted a sea turtle swimming alongside the boat, and my son was overjoyed. Watching him sing a song to the turtle made me smile, and I truly felt that it was worth coming here. My son also said he wants to come back to see it again.

息子8歳と参加しました。船の横を並行して泳ぐウミガメを発見して、息子は、大はしゃぎ
でした。ウミガメを見ながらカメに向かってカメさんの歌を唄っている息子を見て
微笑ましくなり、来て良かったとつくづく実感しました。息子も又、逢いに来たいと
言ってました。

The phrase "Angel's Sea" is truly fitting! The scenery was just as beautiful as the name suggests.
The weather and tide play a significant role on the day of your visit. It was great to have a morning with water levels around calf height.

Searching for sea turtles is exhilarating! The boat is impressive, so it was fine to bring a non-waterproof camera.

The guide really pumped up the excitement, so I definitely want to go again!

天使の海とはよく言ったものだ！名前に負けない景色が楽しめました。
当日は天気と潮が関係します。ふくらはぎくらいの水位となる朝が良かったです。

海ガメ探しはテンション上がります！
船は立派なので防水でないカメラを持っていっても大丈夫でした。

ガイドさんが盛り上げてくれるのでまた行きたいです！
